After passing my certification with ease, my instructor pointed out that women generally make better forklift drivers … so, this would make sense in an animé about the cut-and-thrust world of competitive forklift driving … which is also a thing BTW.

The thing is, driving a forklift is actually fun, with the steering at the back and levers to move the forks etc, so I can imagine competing with them would be great … maybe the watching isn’t so compelling though

He gets found out when, after an emergency where he uses a forklift to save a puppy, instead of embracing the puppy in a manly manner he tries to sneak away to keep his identity secret

Worked with a guy who could pick up a dime with one of the forks. About the only thing he could do with precision, but still impressive.

32-Bit Jam is on for the next two weeks, if anyone wants to make Tony Hawk’s Pro Forklift Certification.

“You drove the forklift up an incline, lost contact with the floor, and entered an uncontrolled spin for several complete rotations before regaining traction. You are extremely disqualified. But god damn, high five.”
